Class trip to Indianapolis October 12-14th
Deposit and forms (Jameson camp, Connor Prarie, Device expecations and Behavior expectations) due September 4th!
Unit 1 - Light and Matter
We have started our first big unit of study on Light.
Students now have a yellow Science Notebook that will be used daily in class.
"Big" Driving Question - Why do we sometimes see different things when looking at the same object?
We are using a one-way mirror as our anchoring phenomenon and trying to figure out how they work.
Week of 10/5-10/9: The students did an excellent job creating infographics to share their background knowledge of The Chinese Cultural Revolution. With this background knowledge in mind, we will beg reading Red Scarf Girl this week...Ji-Li Jiang's autobiography of her time as a student during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. While reading, we will be completing a Double Entry Journal (wherein they will pull quotes from the readings and analyze them based on a prompt). This week we will also take a look at propoganda and its influence on public opinion, and we will learn about and participate in academic discourse (how to have a discussion in a more formal and productive way that asks them to think and respond more deeply and develop deeper-level questions).
Keep in mind: 3 books and the Great Reading Project are DUE Friday 11/6 (the end of Trimester 1). This may seem very far away, but it will sneak up fast! Feel free to check in with your student as well to make sure they are on pace to complete this!
Our grammar focus this week will be prefixes & suffixes. The students will have new vocab this week but there will be no quiz this week.
Welcome Back!

Week of 9/21-9/24 - We will continue Unit 3. We have a quiz on Tuesday over lessons 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. The class did a great job on their Mobile Equations project!
Unit 2: Rise and Spread of Islam
Seventh grade students will begin our Rise and Spread of Islam unit, guided by the compelling question, “How can beliefs change the world?” Students will explore the origins and spread of Islam, examine cultural and intellectual achievements of the Islamic world, and consider Islam’s lasting impact on global history. The unit approaches Islam from a historical and cultural perspective, with students using sources and comparisons to understand how religious beliefs can shape societies and connect civilizations.
